Augrented Insights Report for 740 Shepherd Avenue

The two-family house at 740 Shepherd Avenue in East New York, currently owned by Lisadawne Forde, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being multiple violations related to safety and habitability. As of July 2025, the building has unresolved violations from December 2023 in apartment 2, including problems with roof leaks affecting both the kitchen and hallway ceilings, water temperature control (with scalding hot water recorded at 155 degrees Fahrenheit), and pest infestations (including mice and roaches).

The property has received multiple HPD inspections in 2025, with violations issued for carbon monoxide detector and electrical lighting issues, while previous complaints in 2024 and 2023 involved heat and hot water problems, various plumbing issues, and appliance concerns. A significant historical record shows illegal modifications made in 2019-2020, including unauthorized bathroom and kitchen installations in the cellar, for which the owner was fined and subsequently resolved the violations.

The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing structural and safety concerns, with multiple water-related issues documented through 311 service requests, including slow leaks, and HVAC problems. While the property has passed several rodent inspections between 2011 and 2018, it currently shows no bedbug activity as per the 2024 reporting period. The combination of open violations from 2023, recent safety concerns in 2025, and history of unauthorized modifications suggests persistent maintenance challenges that require attention.
